Sandplace
Sandplace ((コーンウォール語:Tewesva))〔http://www.magakernow.org.uk/idoc.ashx?docid=f3fabe0c-206f-4e0c-8889-4ce4a5060e5b&version=-1〕 is a small village in the parish of Morval, two miles north of Looe in Cornwall, Great Britain. It is situated on the B3254, the old Liskeard to Looe road which joins the A387 to the south.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 201 ''Plymouth & Launceston'' ISBN 978-0-319-23146-3〕 The village is alongside the East Looe river and has been served by Sandplace railway station, on the Looe Valley Line since 1881.
==History==
Sandplace gets its name from a wharf on the river bank where sea-sand was stored, which together with lime (imported from Plymouth and burnt in nearby kilns)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1464952&sort=4&search=exact&criteria=sandplace&rational=q&recordsperpage=10# )〕 was used to improve the acid soils of the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=435134&sort=4&search=exact&criteria=sandplace&rational=q&recordsperpage=10 )〕 The fertiliser was transported north out of the village on the Liskeard and Looe Union Canal which was completed in 1828. With the exploitation of copper and tin ores in the Caradon area from 1836 onwards, and the opening of the Liskeard and Caradon Railway in 1844, the canal was not able to cope with the traffic and congestion meant that trade was being lost to competing routes via Calstock and St Germans. A railway line was opened for goods between Moorswater and Looe on 27 December 1860 and the canal went into gradual decline finally closing in 1910.〔
Within the village is a coaching inn which was built in around 1740 and is now a hotel. It was formerly owned by the Morval Estate which sold it to Peter Bessell the Liberal MP for the Bodmin constituency. Bessell fled abroad in 1970 to avoid debts from a number of unsuccessful companies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://polraen.co.uk/the-hotel/about-polraen-country-house-hotel-near-looe )〕
